[Bf-compositor] LMB / RMB node select

[Francesco Paglia]

keeping the keymap consistent in my opinion should be the way to go.
And box selection is easily achievable via "b" button like in every other
part of blender.
Of course there are keys specialize for the compositor and on those we can
decide what works best but general navigation of the interface IMHO should
be the same as in 3D viewport.
